Stop Playing My Songs – Lord Kenya

Former Hip-life star, Abraham Philip Akpor Kojo Kenya, popularly known as Lord Kenya has cautioned radio presenters and DJ’s across the country to stop playing his hip-life songs he describes as “ungodly”.

He said once he has repented from his old lifestyle, anything “worldly” should not be associated with him because he is now born again.

The former “Sika Baa” hit maker was speaking at a thanksgiving service organized by Raffle International Schools at Kumasi-Tanoso.

The one-time rap heavyweight stated “If they continue to play my old songs and lead people into destruction, God will hold them [the DJs] accountable not me Lord Kenya,”

“They should stop playing the music – it’s my own intellectual property and I have seen the light now so the DJ’s should stop enjoying my songs on air” he stressed.

Lord Kenya, now Evangelist Lord Kenya, expressed shock at the refusal of radio presenters in Ghana to play songs from his new gospel album, “Christ Life” which was released in 2011, but they keep playing secular songs he recorded in the late ’90 and early 2000s.

He reiterated that he had given up on his old lifestyle and given his life to Christ so he is a new person.

He won Artiste of the Year, Hiplife Ariste of the Year, and Hiplife Album of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards 2001, and Best Ghanaian Rap Music Award at the Anansekrom Festival in Canada 2000 among others.
